الملخص:<p dir="ltr">Faults in an Induction Motor (IM) can lead to unexpected downtime, resulting in considerable economic and productivity losses. From existing literature, conventional fault diagnosis approaches in an IM struggle to reliably identify fault patterns at different speeds, particularly under variable speed and changing load conditions. To resolve this issue, this paper presents a unique hybrid Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) along with the Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) topology for diagnosing faulty patterns in an IM under loaded and unloaded variable speed settings. The proposed method can identify faults such as rotor imbalances, misalignment, stator winding issues, voltage imbalances, broken rotor bars, and broken bearings. Experiments performed using the University of Ottawa Electric Motor Dataset – Vibration and Acoustic Faults under Constant and Variable Speed Conditions (UOEMD-VAFCVS) dataset reveals that all three accelerometers are 99.93% accurate at constant speed and 99.96% at variable speed under both loaded and unloaded conditions. In terms of fault diagnostic accuracy in an IM operating at different speeds and load conditions, this methodology outperforms cutting-edge methodologies in the literature. Moreover, using the publicly available CWRU dataset, this study validates the robustness of the proposed methodology in terms of operational issues in an IM. Finally, the proposed method achieves incredible results at varying speeds, stressing the need to improve industrial equipment reliability and maintenance methods.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: IEEE Access<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1109/access.2025.3574017" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1109/access.2025.3574017</a></p>
